Pros: Flexible hours Good salary Stability Great culture The greatest impact on the embedded world

Cons: The company does not adapt fast enough Decision making is slow Management efficiency is average

Pros: Good work/life balance. Working for a company that matters in the industry. Lots of smart people around. Doesn't offend my sense of decency (like some other companies would). The hybrid working environment works well.

Cons: Average compensation. Lots of good people are leaving due to Nvidia/IPO paralyse, lack of clarity around strategy or for better paid positions. Reporting one best quarter after another at the same time cutting jobs, benefits and being generally cheap. Senior leadership comes through as disingenuous. Usual corporate issues with promoting talent and career progression, if you or someone working for you gets stuck (not their fault) in a "wrong job" it's impossible to get them promoted even if they deserve it. Lots of internal conflicts, bing egos and politics driving (or more often stalling) decision making.

Pros: Arm has an open culture that is very refreshing if you've been in an organization like Intel where it is hard to get hold of the information you need to do your job. It is justly proud of what it has achieved from humble beginnings. Cambridge, as well as being a beautiful city to live in, is a place where almost everybody is intelligent, and Arm only takes the best, so you will be working with exciting people. For experienced staff, Arm pays well and offers a range of bonuses, in particular a substantial new starter bonus which you will get at the end of your first year at Arm. The takeover by Softbank has not affected the culture, all that has happened is that our horizons have been widened by the opportunities for new investment.

Cons: Don't be starstruck by being offered a position at such a great company - make sure that the position is one you really want. If you are an experienced individual and want to keep your technical skills going, make sure that this is not a management position that you are being offered.
